I believe the only problem is
that they are on one controller. However, this is not a huge database,
only about 3-4 users connected at a time, but lots of DML. The machine is
a Dell Precision 410 with a gig of Ram and dual PIII 450's. I don't think
that it's a huge problem, but it does keep coming up. There are three log
file groups of 32 MB's each and yes the database is also spread accross these
two platters.
Oh and the
results......YOINK!

Disk mfr? rpm? <FONT

log buffer size? log file size? what
else is on the "separate" disks? anything? separate

just a few questions that come to mind....

Hi all,
I am testing out Spotlight on Oracle from Quest Software.
It is telling me that my log writer process is
slow. What it looks like it is saying is that <FONT
size=2>most disks take about 20ms to right the data and mine is taking on
average about 40ms. I don't know why, they are
scsi drives and there isn't that much stress on the
syste. Anyway, I moved the redo logs to seperate disks, <FONT
size=2>but I fear I may have made an error. Instead of moving each
"group" to seperate hard disks, I moved the members of
each group to seperate hard disks. Anyway, I am
wondering if anyone has advice on this problem.
Sincerely, Kevin Kostyszyn
